If you select a minimum aperture value that is larger than the maximumaperture, a warning message appears and the setting reverts to the default value.● If you set the maximum and/or minimum aperture to one that is not a full-stopincrement (such as f/4.5), the controllable and settable aperture range might not beas exact as you set it. (A slight deviation may occur.) This applies if you also setCustom Function C.Fn-6-1 or C.Fn-6-2 and set the maximum and/or minimumaperture to one that is not a full-stop increment (such as f/6.3).● If the largest aperture of the attached lens is smaller than the largest aperture youset with P.Fn-05, the largest aperture will be set to the largest aperture of the lens.And if the smallest aperture of the attached lens is larger than the smallest apertureyou set with P.Fn-05, the smallest aperture will be set to the smallest aperture ofthe lens.● If safety shift has been enabled (with C.Fn-16), it will override P.Fn-05’s aperturerange when necessary.Registers and switches the shooting mode and meteringmode● While you press the < > button, you can select the preset shooting mode, exposuresetting (such as the aperture for aperture-priority AE), metering mode, and exposurecompensation amount.● Select settings that are appropriate for each shooting mode.● The modes and settings are preset with the camera.See “Registering the Modes and Settings with the Camera” for information on the cameraprocedures.
